Since its merger with Batchelors in April 2023, Birketts LLP has expanded its offering in the South East region, focusing on affordable housing development and management. In addition to this, the team is particularly skilled at handling disrepair claims. The practice is led by Thaine Wilson, who is active in the Sevenoaks and London offices. Hulley advises on both contentious and non-contentious matters, while Thaine frequently handles litigation relating to anti-social behaviour and tenancy fraud. Gavinder Ryait is a further standout member of the team who routinely advises on cases involving injunctions.
